Holding on!

Sometimes I wonder why we hold on to things, memories, people and relationships even when it's well past its expiry date?

I guess that's why the phrase 'let go' is so bloody important. At least it is in my life. It seems to crop up with amazing alacrity and regularity. Which goes to show how many things clutter my life.

But let me share with you a simple thing that I know helps - if it helps you (who the f$#% am I talking to anyway, I think I'm suffering from delusions among other things) then great!

Every 6-8 weeks, I've started cleanig out my wardrobe. And once in 6 months I clean out my files, bill pile, clothes pile, lingerie pile, cuttings, etc., etc. Once all the 'piles' are cleared, you have to experience the sense of relief to believe it. Maybe that is what letting go is all about. And no pangs of regret, guilt, heavy conscience, nothing. Out it goes and out it stays. Boy oh boy that's a relief!

Of course it might not be the panacea for all the ills plaguing our impressionable minds, but hey, it works for me. So whatever works for you ok?

For my friends who're going through losses in life - what can I say except, hold on, hang in and let go. Time will be your salve. And you will emerge calmer, wiser and at peace - provided you're willing to accept what you've got to live without. (There's always a catch cause there ain't no free lunches - it sucks, I know).

(And you thought I had nothing to say! Well, both you and I thought wrong!)
